How do I upgrade to 10.6 with original mac mini Intel C2D?

currently running 10.5.8 but want to use the latest version of iMovie??

Also, also note that iMovie is available through the Mac App Store with or without the rest of the iLife Suite once you upgrade to Snow Leopard.

How to go wireless with original Mac Mini

I bought a Mac Mini when it originally came out and at the time had no reason to get Airport installed, being that it was an extra $75 or so that I didn't have at the time.
I am now moving in with some friends, all PC users, who share a wireless network with the folks that live below them. My only option at this new home for connecting to the internet is to go wireless.
I'm wondering if this is even possible with the earliest versions of the Mac Mini and if so, what exactly do I need to do? I've read so many conflicting suggestions, such as USB Sticks, Ethernet options, etc. but no one seems to have had the sure fire way.
Help. Please

There is a complete Airport/Bluetooth upgrade kit for the original G4 minis, but of course it's not for general resale since there are "no user serviceable parts inside". You should be able to get your local Apple authorized service provider to obtain and fit the kit for you.
Alternatively, there are retailers I have seen advertise the kits for sale to the public, you you can try searching for one, and either going to your Apple service provider or fitting it yourself (it's not difficult but requires some care).
In my experience, USB WiFi adapters have proven sufficiently unreliable and problematic that I really wouldn't suggest you go that way. You could, of course, cable your mini to the wireless router/access point if it has ethernet ports and you are sufficiently close to it, and thus avoid having to do anything but buy an ethernet cable and run it between the devices.

How could I sync an Android device with a Mac mini?

There does not seem to be any obvious way to sync contacts, or, indeed, much of anything. 'Accounts & Sync', in 'Settings' on the device doesn't acknolwdge that the Mac exists by direct USB connection, Bluetooth, or 802.11 wireless. The device doesn't show in the Finder when connected by USB or 802.11 wireless. (It does _charge_ when connected by USB, and it does show a network connection via 802.11 and its IP shows up on the network, it just won't connect to sync anything.) It's a T-Mobile device; T-Mobile doesn't seem to have any tools to make the connection, or at least I can't find any, and there aren't any apps in the App Store which seem able to do this, or again I can't find any. It's trivial to connect an iOS device; surely _someone_ has a way to connect an Android. Surely?

How can I create a live video with my mac mini?

I have a new mac mini and a logitech webcam, ilife 2011, even a professional external mike, if necessary. How can I create a live video to upload to YouTube and the like?

If you're talking about LIVE video (as in, people can see what you're doing RIGHT NOW), you can't host that on Youtube (yet), although there are applications (not part of iLife, though) to let you stream to a personal website. If you just want to record yourself, then upload it, sure, you can do so using iMovie 11.
This page explains iMovie's iSight import feature - provided your webcam is supported, the same should work for you.

Hello,
You must use the Intel iMac as a Firewire Optical drive.

And it kills me that a friend who has pc computers and just has an iphone and ipad can breeze through all this with no problem and he still has XP. So Apple goes back and helps old OS for pc but not for it's own kind!!!
Richard, I agree with you 1,000%. I wrote this in a forum a few weeks ago, when a user was complaining about Snow Leopard not supporting iCloud:
Why is it that if I bought a Mac before July of this year, I must pay to upgrade my operating system in order to take advantage of iCloud? Meanwhile, a Windows Vista SP2 user, who bought a new computer in May 2009, already has everything they need on their computer to use iCloud.
Why was it possible for Apple to write a free iCloud Control Panel that was compatible with existing versions of Windows, but Mac users must buy an entirely new operating system?
If Apple gave Mac users the same amount of backwards compatibility that it gives to Windows users, people with OSX 10.5 (Leopard) would be able to use iCloud. That's something to think about the next time you go to purchase a new computer.
(P.S. Something else to think about: If you bought a Mac before October 2007 (when OSX 10.5 was introduced), your computer won't run iTunes 10.5 unless you buy an upgrade. But a PC user, who purchased their computer as long ago as Sept. 2004(!), can run iTunes without an OS upgrade.)
I got so angry thinking about this, that I ended up writing an angry note to Apple on their feedback page. After repeating what I just wrote here, I asked them to commit to providing at least the same level of support to Mac users that they do for PC users when it comes to their cross platform products (iPhone, iPad, iCloud, Apple TV, Safari, iTunes, etc.) And, really, is that so much to ask?
I wish I knew how to start a petition requesting that Mac users get comparable treatment as PC users. But then again, shouldn't that go without saying?
Please leave feedback about this revolting double standard on the Apple feedback page. They should be thinking long and hard about why their own customers are treated worse than the customers of their competition.

How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac?

How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac? I just bought this webcam on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJE0ISS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1 and I want to use it with my mac. Is there an adapter or any software to make it compatible? Thanks.

Your amazon link states, in part, that this webcam is:
Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7,Vista, XP, 2000
Use a Mac OS X Compatible Webcam like one of those shown in the linked article instead.
For best compatibility and security, also update your OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) to the current OS X version by restarting Mac and then downloading and installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

How to use a mac mini intel with 30" cinema display

Arg, I just bought an Apple 30" cinema display to go with my new Mac mini intel, but oops the 30" apple cinema display has to use a dual link dvi card. Anyone know how to get out of this horrible situation without buying another new computer.
Thanks!

If you want to run the LCD at it's high 2560x1600 resolution, then you have absolutely no option whatsoever than to buy a PowerMac or MacBook Pro. Otherwise, you will be able to run the panel at 1280x800 with the Mac mini, which wouldn't make much sense though.

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc. But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
